KVARNER Cache 66 is situated in a small village Zamost on the stream Gerovčica which has two interesting atractions. In 1906 the ancestors of the Malinarić family built a house and a mill which was in function until 1950. In 1912 a water wheel run bandsaw facility was opened which later switched to the electric power. For visitors the owner can make a presentation of the whole process of making boards out of logs.
Just 100 meters from bandsaw you can see an old mill. The Žagar family („the Selanetzs“) who are the owners of the mill were first mentioned in 1751 in Zamost. They managed to preserve their mills to the present day together with three millstones for centuries grinding corn, wheat, barley and oats from the neighbouring hamlets on both the Croatian and the Slovenian side of the valley.
